Construction of a 40-50 space parking and trail connection west of shelter in Underwood Park.

The Town of Normal was the recipient of a DCEO grant that would fund improvements to Underwood Park and trail expansion. However, that grant was suspended by the state. Parks and Recreation has funds available to build a parking lot for the north end of Underwood, which would provide parking for Brander Shelter.

The benefits of these projects are three-fold: provide parking access for the newest shelter in our system which makes it reservable to the public, provide overflow parking and ADA access for any Connie Link Amphitheatre events, and it allows Underwood Park to serve as a trailhead for Constitution Trail.
